Remark:
When 3R1 ring cores are driven exactly at their natural
mechanical resonant frequencies a magneto-elastic
resonance will occur. With large flux excursions and no
mechanical damping, amplitudes can become so high that
the maximum tensile stress of the ferrite is exceeded.
Cracks or even breakage of the ring core could be the
result. It is advised not to drive the toroidal cores at their
radial resonant frequencies or even subharmonics (e.g.
half this resonant frequency).
Resonant frequencies can be calculated for any ring core
with the following simple formula:
